Lyrics

“Strugglin’ by the roadside tryin’ to hitch a ride
Stumblin’ alone while gettin’ home tonight
When in my eyes, a blinding light
And a voice said: You better get right
Find the cab and the driver said: Won’t you climb inside?
Foot on the gas, hand on the dash, holdin’ tight
He’s dead cold fire, he grinned and said
You might be high, you might be dead

I said: Please, let me stay, ain’t done nothin’ to land in my grave
Then he laughs (Hahaha), I heard him say
You better stay, stay in your grave

Woke up out in the Sun, nothing of new in sight
That evil mad man brought me there so I’d see the light
He spared me from dyin’ when I thought was dead
Yes, I know I kept you living instead

I said: Please, let me stay, ain’t done nothin’ to land in my grave
Then he laughs (Hahaha), I heard him say
You better stay, stay in your grave”
